Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving the car about 60 MPH on the highway when I saw a big red triangle on the display saying pull over and stop safely and the car slowed down dramatically. I did that and turned off the engine. I restarted the car. This occurred 8 more times before I got home (15 miles later). When I got home, I noticed that the car's fan was running very high for several minutes. It finally stopped.”
NHTSA complaint #10873748, filed 2016-06, 70,000 miles“I was driving at about 30 MPH when a yellow wrench light icon came on. The car stopped accelerating, and it seemed like only the electrical power from the battery was keeping it going. I had just exited a busy freeway where people were going 65 MPH and higher, and if I had not just happened to exit I fear I would have had an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10622328, filed 2014-08, 75,000 miles“Well it started early this year. When driving the car some time lose speed. It slow dow to it feel like car not on. Then it happens sometimes on highway be driving then it just start losing acceleration. I have turn car on and off for fee time then it seem go for fee. Then lose power. Now my car was sitting idle for while now it won't accelerate at all few people said it in safe mode no acceleration at all turn car. On and no speed when pushing pallal down”
NHTSA complaint #11163459, filed 2018-12, 223,700 miles“Throttle body malfunctions causing loss of acceleration when driving. Ford issued an extended warranty for my make, model, & year as part of a previous NHTSA investigation, but nothing shows up for my VIN.”
NHTSA complaint #11132853, filed 2018-10, 110,000 miles“Vehicle was on the highway when the throttle closed. I suddenly could not get to a speed above 25 MPH. Fortunately I was able to get to an exit without being hit, and limped to the Ford dealer where I bought it. It is my understanding that other Ford fusions of that year had an extended warranty created when they had the same flaw; it even triggered the same code (p2112). This problem seems to extend, then, to hybrids, although Ford currently does not include them.”
